1997 318is black coupe 5 speed runs great cold ac. I have been building a v8 motor swap using the e36v8motorsports swap kit and a ford 5.0. I was laid off a few months back and can't afford to finish building the swap. Looking for s13 or a truck but will consider other trades.

The car is a great daily driver as is. It handles amazing and gets great gas mileage.

The bad

Drivers side lock punched in ( someone tried to break in to the car. Locksmith said $100 to fix. $50 for the cylinder and $50 for the rekeying of the cylinder to work with existing key )
There is a small dent in the drivers rear quarter panel ( I think it could be removed by a paintless dent remover )
The front bumper needs paint ( new and unpainted )
The interior isn't great. ( the door panels are out of the car one has been recovered and one needs to be redone )


I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff. I will update if I think of anything else.

Out of curiosity, what are you missing to complete the swap?

Also, do you still have the stock seats?

 

I have the stock seats and they are in pretty good shape.

Parts left to finish swap

Ecu
Wiring Harness
Clutch
Sensors
Alternator
Water pump
Power steering pump
Belts
Custom drive shaft
Custom Exhaust
Custom Intake

I would do after market aluminum heads they drop the weight of the engine by around 90lbs and add a good amount of hp.

I think the swap could be completed including the heads for around $2500 if you only use new parts. If you use the stock heads and buy new clutch and junk yard the rest of the parts you could finish it for around $1000.

If he buys it and you have the seats left over, I'll take them off your hands. Been looking for a set of seats for my e36. Bump it up for a fellow e36 owner, can't believe you're selling her.

 

Thanks for the bump! If you are talking about the stock seats I'll let them go really cheap.
